TOP PRIORITY: The organization's most important culture of peace activity

DEMOCRATIC PARTICIPATION

PARTNERSHIPS AND NETWORKS: What partnerships and networks does your organization participate in, thus strengthening the global movement for a culture of peace?

Currently we are partners in a long term project called Peace Bag for EuroMed Youth which has been funded by the Anna Lindh Foundation.

ACTIONS: What activities have been undertaken by your organization to promote a culture of peace and nonviolence during the ten years of the Decade? If you already made a report in 2005, your information from 2005 will be included in the 2010 report.

Actually we been developping several activities such as workshops, conferences and exchanges to promote the culture of peace through active citizenship and democracy participation.

Although it wasn't via Decade 2001-2010, in same time we would be more than interested to join the network and projects of Decade as long as Algeria is part of it.

PROGRESS: Has your organization seen progress toward a culture of peace and nonviolence in your domain of action and in your constituency during the second half of the Decade?

Again as mentioned abouve unfortunetely we didn`t have a chance to act through Decade, however, our philosophie of work is to set Key Performance Indicators for each project weengaged with or we are implementing, matter to monitor and evaluate the imapct, therefore, we have seen that there was a lot of improvement of this side, in same time we still need toprovide more efforts and learn from case studies as well past lessons.

OBSTACLES: Has your organization faced any obstacles to implementing the culture of peace and nonviolence? If so, what were they?

At the begining we do face some barrers that we consider as challenges, so far some times the society is not ready for a positive change because of cultural meaning, lack of knowledge and skills, ways of communication which is not same from a region to another, and then at the end funding issues are always of the big problems to work on this arenas as long as the donners most of time don`t have this topic in their agenda. However, I can also add another factor that some time can play a huge role with regards to the implementation, I mean the human ressouces, experienced and skilled people.

PLANS: What new engagements are planned by your organization in the short, medium and long term to promote a culture of peace and nonviolence?

GLOBAL MOVEMENT: How do you think the culture of peace and nonviolence could be strengthened and supported at the world level??
